Activities
Art
Children create collages, use a variety of paint material, enjoy sticking, cutting, tearing, gluing, and love to play with play-dough, goop and clay. These activities develop fine motor skills and help children express their feelings.
Block Play
Children play with blocks of different shapes and sizes which help them learn mathematical concepts like counting, classification and logical thinking.
Dramatic Play
Children role play using kitchen sets, dolls, stuff toys, dress-up clothes, pretend food etc. Through these activities they learn to share and develop their social skills. This also enhances their cognitive development.
Manipulatives
Children play with self correcting puzzles, legos, matching shapes, dominos. We promote them to become self sufficient by encouraging them to use zips, buttons, strings, etc. This activity helps in physical, social, emotional and cognitive development.
Outdoors
Children play with slides, tunnels, playhouse, balls, rings, hoops, cars and bicycles. This helps them stretch their muscles and develop large motor skills.
Sensory Activities
